_______________________________________________________________

[Narrator:]
This is the beginning and the end. The rise and the fall.
Our gait will begin its saunter at the source, when the infant learns to crawl.

[Ahrima:]
Place your hand on mine.
Untie your mind.

[O the Scientist:]
Let your bloated brain balloon and float away.

[Ahrima:]
Wet the end of the thread.

[O the Scientist:]
Thimble upon your index.

[Ahrima and O the Scientist:]
Set the needle on its path,
Bobbing up and down and past.
Tears and seams all turn to one
With every stitch and each spool spun.

[O the Scientist:]
Feed the line through its eye.

[Ahrima:]
Draw it from the other side.

[O the Scientist:]
Pull the strand to satisfy.

[Ahrima:]
The need to compose.

[O the Scientist:]Forgive Durden - Genesis - http://motolyrics.com/forgive-durden/genesis-lyrics.html
The genetic map.

[Ahrima:]
The scientific gap.

[O the Scientist:]
The detailed blueprints.

[Ahrima:]
Swept away under carpets.

[Ahrima and O the Scientist:]
All we did was thread the eye
Of the silver splinter.
We simply planted the seed
And nursed it through the winter.

[O the Scientist:]
The rest is up to you, to do with what you'll do.

[Ahrima and O the Scientist:]
To learn and love and laugh
Until the cycle circles back
I'll just separate, weigh anchor, disengage
Divide and disappear. And see you in the mirror.

[Ahrima:]
I'm a slave to the night.

[Narrator:]
O the Scientist was the author and the architect.
The angels were His ink slingers, His actors and actresses.
His two purest talents were Ahrima and Nidria, two destined hearts,
bound by the same idea; the unrelenting constancy of love and hope
can rescue and restore you from any scope.
In her, Ahrima confided his curbing frustration.
His gifts had been exhausted.
Oh, how they'd misused them.
She averted his passion and eased his blood.
And so he confessed it to her, he had fallen in love.
